Samantha Jo, Owner
Samantha Jo's Balm Yard has a wide range of medicinal herbs, spiritual amulets, and other products used for remedies.
"Balm Yard is a botanica shop for spiritual + physical healing & cleansing. Many recipes in the collection have been passed down by family members that were root doctors and medicine women in the south. Home is in St. Augustine, FL, and the coast of the Carolinas. I take a lot of inspiration from my GeeChee/Gullah roots and strive to provide a space to connect spirituality + holistic wellness together."

“As a small Black business and native Chicagoan, I am excited to have this opportunity to learn from others and contribute positively to the South Side community. Doing things with and for others is one of the best ways to build relationships and I am passionate about making a difference in my community. Being a part of the L1 Creative Fellowship Program I am looking forward to connecting with like-minded individuals who are eager to help each other grow.”
